The Symbols of Kingdoms and Religious Powers in Bible Prophecy
The 'pure woman', the 'scarlet woman', the 'talking horn', the 'little horn' (when growing vertically), the 'sea beast' with '10' horns, and the two types of 'clays' are religious in nature.1 The King of the North = apostate Christians (those who renounce God's law) and 'Christian' nations. An imposter of the true King of the North (Is 14:13).
